Intel “Metro Notebook”

The people at Intel recently showed off the “metro notebook.” This laptop is apparently aimed primarily at women. One of the most noticeable concept elements is the SideShow-esque e-ink display embedded in the laptop’s lid, which promises to let you view your email, calendar, and other information even when the laptop’s powered down. What’s more, Intel also sees the entire laptop acting as a charging pad for your other gadgets, though it seems you’ll still have to charge the laptop itself the old fashioned way. Even without those less-than-imminent additions, however, the laptop appears to be a pretty decent unit, measuing just 0.7 inches thick and packing a Core 2 Duo processor, along with Bluetooth, WiFi, and WiMAX connectivity.
